Why can't I drop two bombs at once (track file attached)

[testudine2002]

I'm trying to set up a simple CCIP run. I'm trying to drop 2 MK82's at once. When I hold weapons release, only one drops. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong? I attached a very short track file of me setting up the run and the drop. Ty.

I did some experimenting. This is the only mission that I could not control the quantity and multiple of my M82's in CCIP.

 

Is it possible that this function does not work with the BRU-33. THe BRU-33 holds 2 MK82's per pylon instead of one.

 

I'm confused.

Track reports you dropped 2 bombs at the same time.

Looks like you set it up for 4 total dropped (QTY 2 MULT 2) but no interval.

Ty, I got it now. It works brilliantly even with the BRU-33. I think I was messing up the intervals.

I am not able to load your track file. DCS does not recognize that it's even there (I'm on open beta).

 

However, here's how you set it up on your DDI stores page for Mk 82's:

 

Mode - CCIP

MFUZ - Nose

EFUZ - INST or DLYx (your option depending on target)

Drag - FF

 

Now hit the UFC OSB over on the right side of the screen. You'll have some UFC options here on the UFC. This is where you can set up for multiple releases, either ripple or pairs.

 

For ripple release:

 

QTY - 2 or more

MULT - 1

INT - Ground impact spacing in feet. This determines the release timing (interval) of the bombs to achieve the correct spacing.

 

Hold the weapon release button until all bombs in the salvo are released so you won't risk a hung store.

 

For pairs release:

 

QTY - 2 (or more)

MULT - match whatever you set in QTY. You won't have the INT option since it's a simultaneous release.

 

Now your bombs will release in pairs on each press of the release button.

 

Hope this helps.

That's the correct setting for a pairs release, 2 bombs per release (QTY) in multiples of 2 (MULT). Since the two numbers match, there is no way to set an interval, since they drop at the same time.

If you want to have some fun playing around with the QTY/MULT/INT release modes, create a practice mission and put a rack of 6 BDU-33 practice bombs on pylons 2,3,7, and 8. You'll get 24 "bombs" to practice with.

 

Just keep one thing in mind on a ripple release, especially if you set wide spacing. The CCIP cross marks the center of the ripple pattern, not the beginning of it.

Hold down the release button until all weapons , set to release, have released. Don't click press. You gotta hold it down. There should be a thump associated with each release, and slight wobble as FCS adjusts to asymmetric load. You don't have to release in pairs. You can release a stick of bombs with preset distance. A run with MK or MK HD bombs on vehicle column should be done with about 5 to 10 degree angle offset with single release for multiple ripple, set to 100 meter separation. Lethal blast radius of MK-82 (500 lb) is 150 meters. So 100 meter impact point give good overlap. MK-20 have 200 meter lethal radius, per canister, with 2000 ft release and 800 foot burst height.
